Bloomberg reports that former British, German, and French officials held a secret meeting in Vienna with an unidentified former Russian representative to discuss potential peace terms for Ukraine. <\/p>\n
According to Bloomberg’s findings, the meeting involved former UK National Security Adviser Tim Barrow, former German State Secretary Markus Ederer, and French diplomat Pierre Vimont. The identity of the former Russian official who also participated in the talks was not disclosed. The agency reported that the secret meeting discussed potential conditions for peace talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
One of Bloomberg’s sources stated that the talks in Vienna were organized by the Swiss think tank Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, an organization that describes itself as a pioneer of discreet, impartial, and independent conflict mediation. Ederer and Vimont are members of its supervisory board. In a statement to Bloomberg, the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue stated that it often acts quite discreetly to protect dialogue initiatives, as they are frequently conducted independently without any official involvement.<\/p>\n
The Kremlin and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not comment on the reports about the meeting. The German Foreign Ministry stated that it was not aware of the mentioned talks and denied any involvement by the German department. A British government spokesperson stated that London supports efforts to secure a just and lasting peace for Ukraine, but did not address the information regarding the Vienna talks.<\/p>\n
In July, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev reported that secret talks between former German and Russian officials took place in Baku, organized as part of efforts to resume the peace process in Ukraine. Media also reported that similar meetings were organized in previous years. Sources from The Moscow Times indicated, for instance, that former high-ranking US national security officials and Kremlin officials participated in secret diplomatic talks in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
